Week 1 - Self Introductions

Having completed H800 last year I am looking forward to starting H807 as part of my MAODE journey. Enrolling on H807 fits well with my continual professional development plan as I hope to gain some useful insights that can be transferred into my work place. That said I may find my time studying this year will be split across other competing activities.

Currently employed as an Engineering Training Manager in the Royal Navy I could not be any further away from the sea at the moment. Based at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire my work in the Defence Centre of Training Support enables me to explore new technology enhanced training for the MOD. This gives me the opportunity to engage and consult with various training providers to offer and facilitate new electronic services via the Defence Learning Portal. I am very fortunate to be living in a Rothschild's mansion during the week, which is now part of the RAF officers mess.

Most weekends I am able to get back home to Fareham in Hampshire to spent time with my family. A part from studying, I enjoy hill walking, climbing, fitness training, amateur dramatics and have just started to learn ballroom dancing. Unfortunately I have three left feet so I won’t be staring on 'Strictly Come Dancing' soon.

Although I tried blogging in H800 with limited success, I am still discovering the benefits of using this medium to collaborate. Please feel free to comment on any of my blog posts...it is great to know someone else is out there!!

Happy studying
